OmniGraffle is the only software I've found that works for making slides. It has been out for decades now and everyone else keeps making shit. I honestly don't understand how companies can throw millions of dollars and thousands of engineer-hours at this problem and still fail to do basic things like snapping to a grid or aligning text.
- throwawaysea 5y agoDo they still have a non subscription option? I feel like some of the most functional apps are reasonably priced but worse tools that cost a lot over time have somehow taken up market share and mind share.
- linguae 5y agoYes, according to this purchase page (https://store.omnigroup.com/omnigraffle?pk_vid=6677544eb4f4da0c16441312051703f7 https://store.omnigroup.com/omnigraffle?pk_vid=6677544eb4f4d...), if you click "Traditional," the standard version costs $149.99 and the professional version costs $249.99.
- elcomet 5y agoBut omnigraffle is not designed for slides, it's for diagrams. Does it have slides features, like presenter's notes that will be displayed only on one screen ? Does it have animations ?
- zestyping 5y agoNope. If you want those, indeed, you'll need a different app. PowerPoint-style animations are rarely helpful, in my experience. Either the animation is a pointless distraction, in which case you are better off without it; or the animation is necessary to convey the content, in which case no slide tool would suffice and you are better off with a video or a purpose-built vector animation (perhaps an interactive one).
- elcomet 5y agobut presenter's note are very useful.
